Wow! This is BIG - the Apple Lisa source code has finally been released!

This was something that was asked during the VCF Midwest panel for the Lisa Documentary.

It's so very cool that the Computer History Museum was able to get permission from Apple to release the source code... and on the Lisa's 40th birthday 🎉

The German word "nee" means "no" (slang for "nein").

- That isn't true, is it?
- Are you kidding me?!
- No way!
- That's gotta be a f*cking lie!

Enjoy our language, ne?
